"Okay, Rose and Hugo," Hermione said, fixing Hugo's hair. "Uncle Harry is coming for a quick visit with Lily, James, and Albus." Hugo grinned.
"Lily?" He asked, getting excited. He and Lily Luna Potter were very close.
"Albus?" Rose exclaimed, jumping up and down.
"Yes, no both of you clean your room. We don't want them coming over and seeing our house a mess." She pointed to Rose's bed. Hugo rolled his eyes and stomped all the way to his room. Hermione sighed and walked out, muttering "Well, our house is always a mess."
"Honey! They're here!" Ron yelled up the stairs. Hermione shook her head at Rose who was giving her a pleading look.
"Okay!" She yelled back. She rushed down the stairs and stood next to Ron. He nodded at her to make sure she was ready. She nodded back.
"It's nothing. Harry comes over all the time." Ron muttered. He opened the door. There stood 5 people, two adults and three kids. Ron and Hermione's eyes examined the kids who looked well-polished. Harry's hand was on Albus. He grinned at Ron.
"How goes it?" He asked. Ron smiled back and hugged Harry. The kids all waved at their aunt and uncle. Ginny hugged Hermione and greeted her. They let them in and closed the door behind the Potters.
Then, Ron and Hermione heard steps booming down the steps. Hermione sighed and looked at Ron.
"AHHHH!" Rose and Hugo screamed. They came barreling down the steps, making as much noise as they could. Ron held out his hand behind him to stop them from running over the Potters but they crashed into their parents instead.
"Lily! I've got to show you our new pet!" Hugo yelled. He grabbed her hand and dragged her upstairs. Hermione was about to say something but decided it was better not to.
"Albus, wait until I show you how I can fly!" Rose shrieked. She grabbed her broom and opened the door, Albus right behind her. "We'll be at the park!"
Ron and Harry waved, showing they could. Rose smiled and grabbed Albus' hand. Then, she slammed the door behind her, sprinting to the park. James shoved his hands in his pockets and put on headphones. Then, he went downstairs to their basement where he always went. He usually played video games down there.
"Well, welcome!" Hermione said, chuckling. Ron then led them to the kitchen.
"Why don't I fix us some tea?" He asked. Harry smiled and nodded.
"That would be amazing." Ginny exclaimed. She and Harry sat down at the island in the middle of their kitchen. Ron filled the kettle with water and turned the stove on.
"So another attack?" Harry asked, as Hermione reached on the top shelf of a cupboard to get out tea bags. Ron sighed.
"Yes, it's a shame isn't? Blimey, it's gone on for long enough." Ron exclaimed, pulling out mugs from a cabinet. Harry rubbed his forehead and shook his head.
"What's that been, the tenth time this month?" Ginny asked, propping her head with her hand. Hermione nodded. She stood on the other side of the island. Ron came up behind her and stood next to her.
"I'm afraid so. Muggleborns are dropping like flies. Do you know what the Ministry had done lately about it, Harry? We haven't that up to date with everything." Hermione glanced at Ron who grinned at her. They had been taking their own personal vacation at the comfort of their house.
"Well, we finally know who's attacking but that's about it." He said. The kettle screamed and Hermione rushed over to turn the stove off. She grabbed the mugs and poured the water in. She dipped the tea bags in and handed the mugs to Harry and Ginny. They mumbled 'thank you'.
"Who may that be?" Ron asked, grabbing his own mug.
"Dementors." Harry said, darkly. Hermione slammed the counter top of the island with her hand.
"I knew it! Ron said it was left over Death-Eaters but I knew it!" She pointed a finger in Ron's face. "Ever since Kingsley kicked them out of Azkaban they have been on the prowl."
"Well, let's not blame Kingsley. He's a great minister and leader." Ron said, guiding her finger away from his face.
"I wasn't blaming him, Ron!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Anyways," Harry said, interrupting. Hermione turned back towards them and sipped her tea. "The Ministry is doing all they can but it seems as though these dementors are…" He stuttered. "Almost apparating to get to places."
"They can't do that though, can they?" Ginny asked, putting her hands around the cup of tea. Ron shrugged.
"We thought they couldn't."
"Well, I didn't say they were apparating." Harry put up a finger, signalling them to not jump to conclusions.
"Okay, well what should we do? Hunt after them?" Hermione asked. Ron chuckled.
"We can't just do that! We'd-" He was cut off by the Weasley's owl (a barn owl) swooping in through the window. It carried a few copies of the latest Daily Prophet issues. The owl dropped the papers and flew upstairs to where it had it's food.
"Bloody hell, you haven't been keeping up at all." Harry exclaimed, picking up the papers. Hermione blushed a little.
"We needed a break." She grabbed them out of his hands and examined them. Then, her jaw fell open.
"A mass attack on a neighborhood of muggles?!" She almost yelled. Ginny nodded sadly.
"It's all over the muggle news. They say it was just an accident but… " She sighed.
Hermione glanced at Ron, biting her lip. This was going to be harder then they both thought.
